9815642PakrasiThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on Lessons from a Cyanobacterial Genome Sequence to Understand Metabolic Processes in Cyanobacteria and Plants, to be held in Okazaki, Japan from January 10-13, 2000. The co-organizers are Professors Himadri Pakrasi at Washington University in St. Louis and Masayuki Ohmori of the University of Tokyo. This area is the subject of intense study, both in the U.S. and abroad. The recent determination of the complete genome sequence of 6803 has opened the door to a new era in the level and complexity of information that is now within reach. The seminar will include scientists who are deeply interested in genetic, biochemical and physiological studies of cellular metabolism in plants and cyanobacteria. Some are principally geneticists while others use mainly biochemical and physiological approaches. Many span more than one discipline and a number use combinations of genetic, physiological and biochemical techniques. Many use microbial systems such as cyanobacteria or the eukaryotic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii, while others use green plants such as Arabidopsis and rice.The theme of the seminar is the use of the genomics and proteomics information about this oxygenic, photosynthetic organism to gain deeper insights into the overall metabolism of cyanobacteria and plants. The research areas will be presented in sessions devoted to special topics of metabolism, e.g. photosynthesis, respiration, light-signal transduction, transport of metabolites and ions, etc. Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological perspectives will be presented within the frame-work of each session. There will also be a session devoted to discussions on development of general tools that will aid in studies on plants and cyanobacteria. Each section will conclude with a discussion among all of the participants aimed at identifying the areas that would be of particular importance for development and where interdisciplinary approaches will be particularly useful. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger researchers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects.***

9815642 Pakrasi该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国- 2000年1月10日至13日在日本冈崎举行的关于从蓝细菌基因组序列中吸取教训以了解蓝细菌和植物的代谢过程的日本研讨会。 共同组织者是圣路易斯华盛顿大学的教授Himadri Pakrasi和东京大学的Masayuki Ohmori。 这一领域是密集研究的主题，无论是在美国和国外。 最近确定的6803的完整基因组序列已经打开了一个新时代的大门，在信息的水平和复杂性，现在触手可及。 研讨会将包括对植物和蓝藻细胞代谢的遗传、生物化学和生理学研究深感兴趣的科学家。 有些人主要是遗传学家，而其他人主要使用生物化学和生理学方法。 许多跨越一个以上的学科，一些使用遗传，生理和生物化学技术的组合。 许多人使用微生物系统，如蓝藻或真核生物莱茵衣藻，而其他人使用绿色植物，如拟南芥和水稻。研讨会的主题是利用基因组学和蛋白质组学信息，对蓝藻和植物的整体代谢有更深入的了解。 研究领域将在专门讨论代谢专题的会议中介绍，例如光合作用，呼吸，光信号转导，代谢物和离子的运输等。遗传，分子，生物化学和生理学的观点将在每个会议的框架内提出。 还将举行一次会议，专门讨论开发有助于植物和蓝藻研究的通用工具。 每一节结束时，所有与会者都将进行讨论，以确定对发展特别重要的领域以及跨学科方法特别有用的领域。 研讨会的组织者特别努力让年轻的研究人员参加。 与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。
